Happy Halloween!




We had an amazingly busy day! We had so much fun. We started out with pancakes
Lon ate his pancakes in only his diaper. We have baby gym on Wednesdays -- I did not want to change him after breakfast!


Lon wore his costume to gym.


His friend, Ava, wore her costume too! So did most everyone else, but I did not get good photos of everyone else.

One of the best parts of gym this morning is we had our old teacher, Miss Alana today! It was good to see her.










After gym, we went to Party for Less, well, actually we went to Sweet Caroline's, which is in Party for Less. We LOVE Sweet Carolines! Caroline is SUPER nice, and the chocolate is wonderful. The coffee is the BEST! Even though we have three starbucks near our house we walk a couple extra blocks to get the better coffee at Sweet Carolines. Enough of the ringing endorsement! Caroline gave Lon a crabby patty, a french macaroon. Lon calls them crabby patties. He was crabby one afternoon and Caroline gave him a macaroon, and ever since then we call them crabby patties. Lon wanted to eat his crabby patty in the store, he pulled up a chair, got some apple juice, the Caroline brought us out some grapes. We had a great little snack. One they way out, Caroline gave Lon a little Halloween box. Inside were two chocolates, a little notebook and some stickers. Lon LOVED it, of course he ate the Chocolate right away!

After that we went to Albertsons, and got a cookie and a car. That was fun.

Since Lon went to bed so early yesterday (4:45)and was out for the night, I thought he should take a nap so he would be up for Trick or Treat. Well, I should not have worried about him being up for that! We drove around for over an hour. It was a fun drive, but no nap.

Our Ginormous pumpkin! When we got home for our drive, we put him up. We love our pumpkin.


Our new doormat! It is going to last forever, since we only use it one week a year!






Our little pumpkins for inside.





Daddy! Let's GO. I am not sure for what we are going for, but let's GO!!

In front of our pumpkin.

I did not take photos of him going door to door. Daddy got to stay home and give out candy. I thought we would be back pretty quickly. HA! We did the three cul-de-sacs on the other side of the street, we went back up the hill and were in front of our cul-de-sac. When we were turning into our house, Lon was telling me NO !! NO HOME MOMMY. Keep going. NO HOME. Okay, so we kept walking! We went up the hill and down the next street into that cul-de-sac. Lon got some great candy, and he got to pet ALOT of dogs. I think he liked the dogs more than the candy. The candy was pretty good. He had to carry his own treat bag. Mommy, no, Lon carry it.



The little man's candy haul!


We had a great time! Lon eventually did get into bed, about 9:15! He was so tired, but he did not want to miss a thing.

This was a super fun Halloween. Or as Lon now says, SUPER DUPER!

Hi Pam, Thanks for commenting! Lon does LOVE LOVE LOVE his chocolate. He went to tons of houses and EVERYONE thought he was so cute that they gave him extra candy. Lon really liked the dogs that were in people's houses. He tells me now every day that he wants a dog.
